PUZZLE 003 [VIOLET CITY - VIDEO/ACTION]

[snapandscoot]

[[As soon as she set foot in Violet City, Emmy immediately sought out the Gym for a battle! However, if you've got your Pokegear on or you're near the Pokemon Centre, you'll see her and her Machop emerging, looking...rather defeated.]]

Well, that certainly could've gone better.

[[Almost in unison, the pair sigh and seat themselves on a bench outside the centre.]]

That Falkner fellow had some horribly powerful Pokemon! That creepy owl....gosh, I had no idea what to do! Perhaps we shouldn't have rushed in there so soon. I'm sorry, Machi.

[[The Machop frantically waves her arms and points to herself, before sighing and slapping her palm against her forehead.]]

It wasn't your fault!

[[Emmy smiles, and puts a friendly arm around her Pokemon's shoulders.]]

Don't worry, Machi. The Professor wouldn't give up and neither will we! We just have to train harder so that next time, we're ready! We're not going to lose to the likes of him!

[snapandscoot]

Oh I don't know, I'm rather determined!

[[.....dem birds tho]]

But if you have a head start, that's hardly fair!

[darkenedgales]

Sorry, but being one badge short of getting 'em all, I can't really afford to wait for ya. [He grins.] Y'know what they say -- time is money!

[snapandscoot]

Ah, of course, a fishing rod! I'm so silly. I'm definitely going to invest in one of those, then!

I'm so glad for your help, Mr Harvey! If I see you face to face, I simply insist on buying you a cup of tea as my thanks!

[paladinlost]

That would be quite kind of you, Miss Altava. I do hope the fish will not cause you too much trouble.

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Laughs ]

A hard worker! I like that. But really, days off should be used for things not related to work~

[ But honestly speaking? ... If you offered, he'd probably give you a pile of his paperwork to do on your day off. ]

[foolishwren]

Uh, bugs and metal. _{[That would be 'steel'. Heather was notoriously bad at caring enough to learn the real names.]}

I wouldn't worry about research if I were you. Just get a fire type.

_{[As much as Heather hates fire, she has to admit that her starter's type had been a real boon against those gyms.]}

[snapandscoot]

Oh, they won't.

[[And she's quite serious!]]

I think I'll get myself one of those rods now, Mr Harvey; thanks again for all your help!

[snapandscoot]

[[Oh goody, paperwork....]]

I suppose that's true~! But I do like to be kept busy! I think I'd look rather dashing in that blue uniform~

[paladinlost]

You're welcome. Please do share your results, once you manage to catch and raise it.

[snapandscoot]

[[Oh stop making her laugh, you!]]

You really are quite the trainer, Mr Crow! Remind me to keep an eye on you!

[darkenedgales]

[But that's what what he does best!]

'Course I am! One of the best, if I were to guess. [Well isn't he modest...]

And drop that "Mr" part, will ya? Just Crow's fine!

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ All the paperwork... ]

I'd bet you would as well! It's a pretty nice uniform, as far as military ones go, I think.

[hintcoinplz]

Mhm! He was pretty tough when I first fought him.

[notrueking]

Hmm...

[AND HE'LL CHECK HIS OWN POKEGEAR]

So, slightly to the west of here, then? I suppose I'll make my way over there in a bit, then.

video; i'm not late, you're just hallucinating

[puzzling]

[ Oh yeah, Falkner. Man, that takes Layton back ages ago in battling that gym leader. ]

Having trouble with the gym leader, Emmy?
